Vlad Taltos

Vlad Táltos is the central character of a series of novels written by Steven Brust and set on the planet Dragaera. First introduced in the 1983 novel Jhereg as an assassin and mobster, Vlad has, over the course of nine subsequent novels, acquired many friends and enemies. Notable among these are his familiar Loiosh (a jhereg), and his (ex)-wife Cawti (whose relationship with Vlad disintegrated in the novel Teckla, written while Brust's marriage was likewise disintegrating).

Although the majority of the citizens of the Dragaeran Empire are modified humans, Vlad is not. Since Dragaerans cannot grow facial hair, Vlad typically has a mustache, as an act of defiant individualism.
